Laurent Blanc, Henry, Hassenhutti, Montella, Conte , Wenger, De Boer, Carvalhal, Bosz. I don't think it will be Moyes Yep so many unknowns - lots of availability, yet no standout candidate, We know little about the owners intentions - the only snippet is that Pursilow appointed Hodgson. It could be anyone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want the best for my club too. Does that mean I should believe we are going to sign Messi? There is no point getting sanctimonious on it, however, some of us (myself included) are going along with the 'Statement of intent' and thinking there is a chance for the first time in 10+ years we might actually get it right. Okay so what if Wenger doesn't come here in any capacity or we get turned down by Fonseca - atleast we are trying and showing ambition & intent. It may come as a shock to many that we have owners now who are not here to f*ck about and I doubt they will make their first appointment with an Iain Dowie type character.

I wonder if his departure from Man U in the summer has affected them. But we are also appointing a DoF, so a coach would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not me, at least not the posters we have had recently. I appreciate having some thoughtful input from other clubs. They're not trolling, there's not so many of them that we're losing focus on what we're talking about, their contributions have broadened the debate, and they've got a sense of humour. That's not to say we won't have others who are a pain, but the recent contributions have been good as far as I'm concerned. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whhat exactly should our expectations be this time? Anyway I'm done with this. Let's see what happens. So you mean to tell me you don't see or know of at least one HUGE difference between when we signed said managers and now??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am doubting that the names banded about would come here in our current state. That is a HUGELY different thing How you know we are even after Wenger and Fonseca have no idea.

honest_bertie Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 @One For The Road you keep saying you are “telling it like ot is”. In truth however you are on a forum speculating with others and unless you are ITK your really have no idea how it is same way as the reat of is. Chill out a bit with the shouting down of people enjoying alittle hope. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a HUGELY different thing The comment is meant to mean that some fans who have low expectation levels at this time will be sad to learn that we won't be getting any Holloway's, McClaren's, McCarthey's, Dowie's of this world with our new owners. I know you're not probably questioning the boards statement of intent - I was explaining that part to you from your last posts. I am doubting Steve Bruce will win the cabbage of the month award but I could be wrong. Enjoy your evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faria only left United because he was spending too much time away from his family, and that they come first. I just read an article, where he said exactly that Jim. However he also said that he wanted his next job to be as a manager in his own right and to have a project of his own. Could be an interesting one, especially as other have said we are appointing a DOF. Portuguese too just to keep the Mendes theme alive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Perhaps each player should get a turn as manager - a sort of winner stays on approach - can't believe its never been tried... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
